Snowbound Leather Weekend

Feb. 19 and 20

Perhaps the last time you did so was for the annual Mates Leather Weekend in the fall.

Now itís time for the winter version of that event: the third annual Snowbound Leather Weekend.

The event takes place Feb. 19 and 20, with a full run of parties and discounts on lodging and meals for fans of leather, rubber and uniform wear.

Organized by longtime Provincetown resident and leather man Rick Conley, Mates Leather Weekends present a great opportunity to don that sexy gear in a safe, gay-friendly small town.

New friends are often made at these gatherings, and many people come back year after year, attending both the fall and winter events. In fact, the fallís 2009 First Mate Addam Moreno plans to return for Februaryís Snowbound.

A Bar Crawl and Cruise at the A-House and The Vault will begin the weekend, followed by an After Hours Party at The Ranch Guest House.

On Feb. 20, the pants check will be available at The Vault to set off celebrations at an Underwear and Jockstrap Party.

Discounts on lodging are available for the weekend at The Crown and Anchor, The Gifford House, The Ranch and The Watership Inn.
